Mukautettavissa

Mukautettavissa is a Finnish adjective describing something that can be adapted or customized to meet needs or changing conditions. The word is formed from the verb mukauttaa (to adapt) with the participial suffix -ttava, combined with the inessive suffix -ssa (-vissa). The result refers to a state in which a thing can be adjusted or tailored, rather than to a completed modification itself.
